Advances in Group Processes publishes theoretical analyses, reviews and theory based empirical chapters on group phenomena. Volume 19 includes papers that address fundamental issues of Solidarity, Coh...sion and Trust. Chapter one shows how solidarity is a consequence of group-level phenomena (i.e., competition) and individual level phenomena (i.e., similarity). The second chapter examines solidarity among injection drug users, showing that the cohesion and solidarity of drug users are patterned by principles of collective action. The next two chapters integrate extant theories to provide new insights. Chapter three integrates principles of social exchange, status organizing processes, and game theory to theorize solidarity; while chapter four shows how new research on emotions can explain solidarity in status-differentiated groups. Two chapters then review and analyze long-standing programs of research on cohesion and trust. Chapter five reviews a decade of growth for the theory of relational cohesion, showing how emotions lead to cohesion and commitment. Chapter six analyzes how learning and social control can produce trust in networks of varying size. The final two chapters examine processes that are often neglected in the production of solidarity and cohesion. Chapter seven analyzes group loyalty as a function of intra- and inter-personal factors. Chapter eight examines how relatively subtle features of speech arrangements can either maintain or disrupt solidarity. Overall, the volume includes papers that reflect a wide range of theoretical approaches to solidarity and contributions by major scholars that work in the general area of group processes.続きを見る
